ACTIVITY 4<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let’s put a tick (\u2713) for the right answer and a cross (X) for the wrong answer:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

(1) Usha had a memorable entry in the 1980 Moscow Olympics. (X)<\/p>\n

(2) 1982 New Delhi Asiad was a good experience for Usha. (\u2713)<\/p>\n

(3) She made a new Asian record in Kuwait. (\u2713)<\/p>\n

(4) Between 1983-89, Usha won more than ten golds at ATF meets (\u2713)<\/p>\n

(5) Usha finished first in the finals in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. (X)<\/p>\n

ACTIVITY 5<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let’s answer the following questions:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

(1) How was Usha’s performance in New Delhi Asian Games ?<\/p>\n

Ans:<\/strong> In the 1982 New Delhi Asian Games (Asiad), P. T. Usha performed well but could not win gold medals.<\/p>\n

She won two silver medals one in the 100 metres race and another in the 200 metres race.<\/p>\n

Although she missed the gold, her performance showed her great potential and determination to become one of India’s finest athletes in the future.<\/p>\n

(2) Two Olympic Games are mentioned in the text. When did these take place? Where were these held?<\/p>\n

Ans:<\/strong> The two Olympic games mentioned are the Moscow Olympics and the Los Angeles Olympics.<\/p>\n

Moscow Olympics was held 1980 in Moscow, and Los Angeles Olympics was held in 1984 in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
